I am thinking of putting the 19" Tvr power wheels on my sag, could someone who already has them tell me the difference in the drive, is it a harder ride and do they improve the handling or are they just for show lol
Many thanks
Matt

Feels a bit more nervous with the 19inch in my view but looks much better (I didn't do many miles with the spiders before replacing them so I'm not the best judge though)

Cheers

Have the power 19's on my 350 and have to agree the rear does feel a bit nervous. The 265/30 has something to do with it but feel it more on cold types. The fact you are going from an 8.5 inch rear to a 10 inch puts a fair bit of rubber down. Fill the arches well with a slight geo change at the rear for clearance as per powers instruction.

I had them put on my Sag, imho they make the handling better but I had other things done to her at the same time, so it might not be a fair comparison. They do look a whole lot better though... smile

If you going to track it, it will make it handle worse. Not sure how much difference you will find on the road apart from the drive being more firm

Really thinking along the same lines about this and can't decide between current spiders and the power alloys.
i have heard that there is two different offsets available and the latter is the ones to have??

Paul, will you be going to our local meet on Sunday would love to see the Sag with the Power alloys in the flesh?
